Global Methionine Market by Raw Material (Animal-based, Plant-based), by Application (Pharmaceuticals, Food & Dietary Supplements, Animal Feed) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

Summary of the Report

In 2014, the global methionine market was worth USD 3.54 billion. The market will continue to be driven by the increasing meat consumption in Asia Pacific and Latin America. The global meat industry has seen a rise in population from these areas.

The key driver of product demand is likely to be rising meat consumption around the globe as a source for protein. China and India are experiencing high meat consumption due to changing food habits, the emergence of frozen beef and other meat products, as well as establishment of meat outlets. This will increase demand for feed additives.

In order to increase the nutritional value of livestock feed, manufacturers have been incorporating animal feed additives like methionine due to recent animal disease outbreaks. Increasing consumer awareness about the health of livestock has led to increased product usage.

Supplements containing methionine are a common use of the ingredient. The future is expected to see a rise in demand for dietary supplements, driven by growing interest and avoiding healthcare costs. The dietary supplement market will be driven by rising obesity rates in the U.S., U.K. and Canada.

Due to rising meat consumption in China and India, Vietnam, Vietnam, and the Philippines, this region will see significant growth. In the next few years, product demand will be driven by rising disposable income and changing food habits.

Europe accounted to more than 20% of total demand in 2014. The U.K., Germany and other European countries are expected to be the leading contributors. The region's key drivers are expected to be the growing demand for dietary supplements as well as the growing number of elderly people.

North America will experience a 5.8% CAGR between 2015 and 2022, according to estimates. The region's growing obesity rate and high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is expected to drive demand for dietary supplement products. Increasing livestock production and the booming pharmaceutical industry will fuel Central and South America's market.

The growing dependence on animal-based diets is driving the growth of methionine market in advanced economies like the U.S., Canada, Germany and Canada. These countries have a preference for high-protein diets and rely more on non-vegetarian food options than on plant-based foods. This has resulted in an increase in methionine consumption in North America and Europe.
